Time for a nap?

In memory of the late Todd Frost, a good friend who died suddenly, later that night after spending the day with him photographing these wonderful animals.

Here's one for you bud, wherever you are.

Steve
Subject: Snowy Owl yawning (Bubo scandiacus)
Location: Canada
Camera: Canon MKIV
Lens: 500f/4 - Gitzo tripod/Wimberley head

Fantastic pose, love the detail in that mouth.

I am sorry to hear about your friend, Steve. It is great to be active right up to the end, but more of a shock for those left behind. As for the picture itself, I am amazed how much there is to an owl's throat! Cracking shot.

Steve sorry about your loss.
This Owl certainly looks great.

Hi Steve,

Sorry to hear about your friend!
Wonderful tribute to him.

Wish you all the best and strength to recover from your loss.

greetings,

Thanks folks, appreciate the kind words, I'm sure Todd would appreciate it too.

It has taken me almost two months to start to edit and process these images from that day, posting it on his birthday seemed fitting.

thanks
Steve

it's an excellent image Steve and very well timed too but I can imagine this must have been a painful series of images for you to look at.
